“Croft cottage was an excellent holiday property with everything we could possibly need.”

Quiet, comfortable, super facilities, beautifully furnished with good taste in decor. The open plan layout was great and felt very spacious. I highly recommend Croft cottage to anyone wishing to get away from it all in the heart of the Northumbrian countryside.

“A gorgeous, idyllic cottage in a perfect location for exploring Northumberland.”

The cottage was very clean and there was a welcome basket of goodies on arrival which was a lovely touch. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

- Adam, August 2023

Thankyou for your kind feedback, we always leave a welcome basket so at least you can have a glass of wine or a cuppa on arrival. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay here at Rock Mill. We hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner

“If it wasn't so far I would come again.”

The peace and quiet with only the birdsong audible, make this a special place.

- Alex, June 2023

Thankyou for your lovely comments, it's one of the things I love about Rock Mill, waking to the sound of birdsongs. It's so quiet here as we are surrounded by fields in every direction. Such a shame it's such a long way for you to come, we would welcome you back any time. Elaine Property Owner
Sharon May 2023

“We were a little disappointed with the long track to the cottage.”

This was very narrow uneven and dusty. The cottage it self was lovely and comfortable but could do with a thorough clean. The main surfaces like kitchen bathroom and bedroom were clean but skirting boards corners of rooms and kitchen door cupboards were already for a good clean. In the bathroom the shower hose needs replacing as it’s about to fall apart and the bath plug chain was held with wire but has come apart. In the utility there were two visible set mouse traps. Mice are inevitable in a property set in such a location but not sure they should visible to guests especially if they have small children.Outside there was a stunning huge private garden and patio which was lovely but let down by very tired timber table and chairs which really needs replacing. This could be a stunning holiday let if it wasn’t for these issues

- Sharon, May 2023

Thankyou for your feedback Sharon, we have taken note of your comments and have addressed these issues. Property Owner
Nathan April 2023

“A beautiful converted barn.”

Extremely spacious and a huge garden for the kids to run around in. The owners were polite and friendly but not over powering, we knew they were on hand if needed anything. So much to see and do around the area.

- Nathan, April 2023

Thankyou for your kind comments Nathan, we try to be on hand if needed but not in your face! Hope to see you again soon. Elaine Property Owner
Ian March 2023

“Excellent property in a very quiet location only a few miles from the beautiful coastline and beaches.”

Well equipped and the owner Jeremy very helpful. As regular “cottagers” it’s difficult to find fault here. Highly recommended.

- Ian, March 2023

This feedback means a lot to us as you are regular "cottagers" thankyou for your kind feedback. Property Owner

Anthony April 2022

“Had a really great break.”

The cottage was fantastic and very comfortable. The owners were very kind and helpful. Excellent location to visit the wonderful places in Northumberland.

- Anthony, April 2022
Jo March 2022

“We had a very enjoyable stay.”

The living area was very comfortable & stylish. We found the bed comfortable and ample storage space in the main bedroom. Two small quibbles. Freezer is very small - just enough for ice cubes & possibly a tub of ice cream. There were lots of wine glasses but only two tumblers.

- Jo, March 2022

“We had a lovely week at Croft cottage , everything that you could need is there ...”

We had a lovely week at Croft cottage , everything that you could need is there , Jeremy was lovely and helpful too , we arrived early and it wasn’t a problem , my only little moan would be that I think a double quilt on the single beds would be a good idea especially in winter, for a child it’s fine but for an adult it’s a bit harder , , thank you for a lovely stay , we will be back

- Tracy, October 2021
Suzanne October 2021

“The cottage was lovely, very well kitted out, and looked great.”

The owner was very helpful, especially when we needed help sorting out a flat tyre.The garden and field were great too, good for kite flying and a run around with the kids. The location is really good as well, the local beaches are not far and really big with lovely sand. All the local castles are pretty nearby too. The only request would be for a bit of info to be included in the cottage about the local area, recommendations etc. and also a bit on the cottage - how to use the oven/heating etc. Lovely place and highly recommend it!

- Suzanne, October 2021
Derek September 2021

“The information regarding the bathrooms was inaccurate as description is two bathrooms whereas the secondary bathroom is only a cloakroom ie no bath or shower in the room.”

- Derek, September 2021
Philip September 2021

“Excellent holiday cottage in stunning scenery and very close to some fabulous beaches.”

Cottage was really well appointed with all the crockery and cooking utensils you could wish for. Most importantly the knives were sharp and the frying pan was non-stick - sounds daft maybe but we like cooking for ourselves and small things like this make a real difference. Thanks Jeremy, for a really memorable stay..

- Philip, September 2021
Jill August 2021

“The cottage is beautifully positioned, very private even though part of a small complex.”

Very well appointed, with good quality equipment, although the dryer part of the washer/drier didn't work. It has a washing line but no pegs so take some along. An electric towel rail would be good to dry towels when the heating is off. Part of the footpath to Embelton is closed as the footpath crossing over the mainline railway has been closed so we had quite a walk round. But it's a beautiful walk via Rock. Garden is perfect for a family, room for games and outdoor eating. Beautiful beaches and Embleton church dating from 1150 is worth a visit for quiet time and to see the beautiful windows. What's not to like? Fabulous holiday.

- Jill, August 2021
John August 2021

“Croft Cottage is NOT luxury accommodation.”

We paid £1500 for 1 week and it was not worth nearly this amount. I know Sykes Cottages have inflated the price significantly due to the Pademic. I will never use Sykes Cottages ever again and definitely would tell people to avoid. I would find a private listing in future as I have frequently paid half the amount for better quality accommodation. Enjoy your bumper pademic profit this year but also note the reputational damage you are inflicting to your business by over inflating prices.

- John, August 2021
Ryan June 2021

“Top class 5 star accommodation.”

Very clean and superbly maintained throughout. Cottage is well stocked with kitchen equipment, towels, extra bedding, high chairs and cots. Very comfortable beds. Jeremy the owner is fantastic - very personable and communicative. Always available but never intrusive. Even left us a nice bottle of wine, milk and chocolate on the first night. Cottage is in an ideal location for the exploring the coast including Bamburgh, Alnwick and Alnmouth - rural, idyllic, and quiet but with easy access to the A1. Cottage has outdoor seating and large garden space which is ideal for summer alfresco dining. Up to date audio-visual with SkyTV available and catch up services. Heating controls are all smartly operated from a central system so simple to use. Large range cooker - ideal for family dining. No expense spared on terms of the fixtures and fittings. Tastefully done. We stayed as a family of 4 with a 1 and 3 year old. We were there for a week and none of us wanted to leave. Will certainly be back and highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.

- Ryan, June 2021
Elizabeth June 2021

“It was so good to get away for the first time since the beginning of lockdown.”

We felt totally safe in the cottage, it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The big garden was great for playing boules.

- Elizabeth, June 2021
Jeanette May 2021

“A lovely and well equipped cottage.”

Perfectly situated close to some quiet and beautiful countryside. Highly recommend the Farne island boat trip and lunch at the Jolly Fisherman in Craster. Also several great castles to view and perfect for walking . One of our best ever self catering holidays in the UK. Jeremy was friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back to Croft cottage some time in the not too distant future.

- Jeanette, May 2021
Paul April 2021

“The house is lovely, clean and in a nice setting.”

Jeremy the landlord was helpful. The local area is really nice. We really enjoyed staying there

Jessica August 2020

“We had an amazing holiday in Northumberland and loved Croft Cottage.”

The accommodation was outstanding and the host could not have done more to make us feel welcome and help us have a brilliant holiday. It is ideally located close to some fantastic beaches and there was plenty to do in the area. Our children loved the gardens and the play equipment - we will definitely be back! Thank you.

- Jessica, August 2020
Cathryn December 2019

“Great cottage and location.”

Really nice welcome pack provided by owners. Very clean and comfortable. Only improvement that could be made is a better quality shower in bathroom, shower worked and pressure good but spray and adjusting awkward and didn’t match luxury theme. Need to provide timer for central heating especially in winter, was cold first thing until you manually boosted controls. It would be a plus to be provided with stocked wood shed as part of stay and price. Initial supply provided and the owners did offer to provide more but we didn’t want the hassle on inconvenience being interrupted during our stay and ended up buying or own. Which cost an extra £30 for our stay. But overall excellent cottage and lovely hosts.

- Cathryn, December 2019

Agnes August 2019

“Lovely area and the cottage was fantastic.”

Well equipped clean and done put to a high standard. A welcome pack was left in the kitchen which was a lovely touch, In a good location to get to everywhere we wanted to visit. Hoping to return to visit the places we could not fit in.

- Agnes, August 2019
Mark June 2019

“1) The property appeared to be linked to the coast by a footpath, according to the information you provided.”

This was not the case, and was misleading in terms of its location. 2) Of the two single beds, one mattress was described by the friend who used it as 'hard', and the other had a tendency to roll you off the bed, due to uneven wear. I think the owners might like to check this. 3) Other than that, high quality accommodation, well equipped, and well presented.

- Mark, June 2019
Christine June 2019

“A very comfortable property in a quiet location but with easy access to some lovely beaches and interesting places to visit.”

It provided an ideal base and we would certainly consider returning.

- Christine, June 2019
Laila April 2019

“Thoroughly enjoyed our week here.”

Well equipped cottage, easy parking and friendly owners who welcomed us on arrival.

- Laila, April 2019
Lucy April 2019

“Lovely cottage.”

Arrived to find box of goodies including Easter eggs and wine and milk in the fridge. Perfect location close to beaches and castles and wonderful walking. Cottage is part of a farm with two other cottages, but it still feels pretty private and is very quiet, particularly the garden which faces out to the landscape with only fields in sight. Only slight quibble would be how 'green' we could be - we could recycle the usual things but we were hoping there would be a compost bin we could use... We had a lovely week - thank you!

- Lucy, April 2019
Sue March 2019

“The weather was very cold and we found the central heating difficult to control.”

To be fair, we didn’t ask Jeremy to help us and I know he would have done so happily. So info about how the heating worked would be good. The cottage was perfectly located for exploring the Northumberland coast and we’d definitely stay there again.

- Sue, March 2019
Rose March 2019

“Lovely cottage clean, comfortable and well equipped.”

friendly owners and good location to explore the rest of the Northumberland.

- Rose, March 2019
Laura November 2018

“We have just come home from a very relaxing week away.”

This cottage is situated in a very quiet area although a 2 min drive from the A1 means you can get up and down the cost very quickly. The owners were very happy to help with anything. If you forgot it, they have it. The information within the cottage on the surrounding areas is plentiful. Many leaflets on things to do. The darks sky’s make for great star photography. (If the skies are clear )

- Laura, November 2018

- Elaine, July 2018
Samantha May 2018

“Beautiful cottage in rural setting.”

The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and clean. The owners were there to meet us on arrival and lived in the farm house so we’re on hand should we need them, but everything worked fine and we were left alone for the holiday. Really enjoyed our stay here and would certainly stay again when we next visit Northumberland.

- Samantha, May 2018
Keith May 2018

- Mr Austin, September 2012
Gillian April 2012

“We love this part of the country.”

Croft Cottage was really beautifully laid out. In particular we liked the open space of the kitchen/dining area and living area - finished to a very high standard. Very quiet and relaxing and the owners were very helpful and friendly but not intrusive.

- Gillian, April 2012
Nicola March 2012

“A fantastic location - feels so isolated yet only a few miles from Alnwick and its shopping facilities.”

Cottage is just beautifully finished and was excellent for all our needs - being on one level really helped with our toddler and we didn't use the wood burning stove so that wasn't a safety issue. Loved the extra cloakroom and utility with washing machine, plus small hall with space for coats and boots. Local footpath good for walks and small play area on site another bonus. Overall, a great find!

- Nicola, March 2012
Rebecca February 2012

- Rebecca, February 2012

- Graeme, November 2007
Angela October 2007

“The cottage was a very comfortable place to stay & extremely cosy & warm.”

We didn't even need to use the fire despite it being pretty cold outside. We loved the troup of ducks which came to greet us most days. The cottage was very well situated for travelling to places of interest, of which there were many. Much of the scenery in this part of the world is truly spectacular and provided us with great walking. The cottage owners were very helpful & friendly & on hand when we needed them.

- Angela, October 2007

- David, September 2006
Peter & Margaret September 2006

“A pleasant welcome, nicely judged to be helpful but not intrusive - always felt people were there if we needed anything.”

The interior decoration on this property was just stunning - the main room was a place we would like to return to alone. Wonderful spare, sleek elegant feel within the old barn casing - terrific. The stove is a great feature, and there were really nice bonuses like the picnic hamper.

- Peter & Margaret, September 2006
Leon & Rachel September 2006

“The lot! We love and know the area very well, but staying in such a great pad made the break more enjoyable than we could have hoped for.”

The owner was also friendly and welcoming, which helped us to relax and feel at home. We would definitely look to return some time soon. A great cottage in great surroundings in the greatest county in England. Full marks.

The gardens at nearby Howick Hall are open during the summer and are noted for their beauty, whilst Alnwick Castle and Garden are a 'must-see' when visiting the area.
